Chapter 305: Try Something New
"Mother, about the matter you mentioned last time, what are your final thoughts? Do you really intend to give them money to spend every month? Won’t that just spoil them?"
Wang Yongzhu smiled, "If Jindou and the others could be so heartless towards their own mother, then I would be worried! No matter what Lady Lin has done wrong, aside from divorcing and abandoning them, she has been a loving mother to those children. Just for that, to ignore whether Lady Lin lives or dies, I would fear that these children are too cold-hearted. If they can be heartless towards their own mother, then if we ever do something that is not in their favor, they might be even more ruthless in the future. Right now, it’s good the way it is; even if they are too soft-hearted, not letting Lady Lin in the door is already fortunate!"
"As for the matter you mentioned, once our business really gets going and the household becomes more comfortable, handing out some hard-earned money to everyone is to show there’s something to look forward to, right? Otherwise, no matter how prosperous the business is, if people don’t see any tangible benefits in their hands, they might have complaints over time. After all, the money earned is ours, and it’s being spent on our own family, not benefiting strangers!"
After the last rewarding incident, Wang Yongzhu discussed with Old Granny Zhang that once the business was up and running and there was income, every person in the family who had worked would receive some spending money.
Truth be told, she knew Old Granny Zhang’s heart and eyes held only her daughter, and her sons were only there to claim debts. She also knew that in those times, before a family divided its assets, it was not allowed for sons and daughters-in-law to have private funds.
Yet looking at the whole family, now with so many children, and still not having any private savings was really unreasonable.
Even if the family could provide everything, who didn’t have moments of difficulty or the desire to buy some useful things? In the past, when the family had no money, it was one thing.
But from now on, when the business starts and the family has money, to continue that way would be unacceptable.
Anyway, Big Head was in charge of the major finances, and it was no problem for each room and each person to earn some money from their work and spend it for themselves, right?
